“And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.”
And it was found written in the book, how Mordecai had told of Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who guarded the threshold, and how they had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus, demonstrating that the chronicle's account of Mordecai's exposure of the assassination plot is still recorded in the official record and that the king's review of the chronicles brings this past service to his attention. This discovery of the record of Mordecai's loyalty represents a moment of providential retrieval, where a past act of faithfulness, seemingly forgotten and unrewarded, suddenly becomes relevant again. The verse illustrates how God often uses the official records of human institutions to accomplish His purposes of justice and deliverance.
